62 Gladiolus Bulbs 
Templin-Bradley's Famous Gladiolus 
A Rainbow of Color for Your Garden 
“Rainbow,” because it is probably true that no other family of flowers offers so wide a range of colors, 
shades and markings as Gladiolus. They are so easy to grow' that special skill and training are not 
necessary for success. They will thrive in any fairly good garden soil. 
You will get pleasure from your Glads, both in the garden and in the house, where they are very long- 
lasting as cut flowers. Long-lasting, too in the heat of summer when many flowers would wilt down 
rapidly in the house. 
It was in 1915 that we started producing our own Gladiolus bulbs for our trade. In the 21 years 
since, we have watched closely the trend of popularity and have kept right up to the minute with the 
latest introductions, so that in this list we offer you only the best of the large flowering varieties. This 
Is important to you whether a beginner or an old hand at it. Order from this page andj you will have the 
best in your garden next summer. If you attended any of the major Gladiolus Shows in 1935, you 
doubtless saw these varieties featured there by exhibitors.

CULTURE: Plant the bulbs or “corms” as they are called, in trenches or in holes about six inches deep and from 
six to eight inches apart, covering them with loose fine earth, pressing it down well around the bulb. Gladiolus bulbs 
do well in any good, well drained garden soil, providing it is in a sunny location. Plant the first bulbs right after 
the last frost in the spring, plant more every two weeks until July 1st and you will have flowers from mid-July until 
the first frost next Fall.
